VecFlash USB


Recommended Posts

are you offering any discount/upgrade pricing to previous customers?

Yes

 

will it have the same number of slots or more?

Same capacity, which means the upgrade will require -

 

Me - I send out a new PCB minus the FLASH memory

 

You - swap said memory from old PCB into new + do a small amount of cutting of the case -

Will the USB connection be supported by non-Windows computers?

Yes, it should work with any USB port equipped computer (with the right drivers). Uses a standard USB mode so I can't see any problems there.

 

 

Does the use of USB mean that I won't have to plug it into my Vectrex for power anymore?

Yes, it is the main reason for the swap over, saves me having to build 2 separate circuits, and custom leads again (when I run out my current stock).

I've decided to change the connector on the finished cart to a Mini B type USB socket.

 

A lot of guys have said they already have this type of lead lying around (from phones, PDA's, card readers etc). Also, it might be just a case of making the hole wider to obtain a fit (easy with a reamer).

 

Anyway, I'll know for sure when I have the PCB and an old VecFlash case to inspect.

Definitely preferable, thanks for listening!

Whatever is easier and less costly for you Richard - I know I have plenty of either type of USB cable around, so no difference to me! :D

will you need an old vecflash to take advantage of the new USB?

No, it's just an upgrade option.

 

You may have to wait a while for the USB version, I need to get it 100% before I start selling it. Still got to figure out why it won't work on one of my friend's PC :?

 

I can set you up with the serial version if you don't want to wait (same capacity + speed)

 

(cart cases and boards for these should be here this week)

This is really cool!

 

How much are they and where can I get one?

 

.-.-.

 

FYI the new version of the VecFlash will be USB (instead of serial)

 

Hopefully, I should have them for sale in about a month.

 

 

 

Thanks...
